Answer 1

To provide scientific evidence that peas are high in fructose, the student would likely use the Benedict’s test. This test is used to detect the presence of reducing sugars, which include fructose.

The other tests mentioned do not specifically identify fructose:

• The vinegar test is typically used for testing acidity rather than sugar content.
• The iodine test is used to detect starch.
• The brown paper bag test is used to check for the presence of fats or oils.

So, the best choice for demonstrating fructose content in peas is the Benedict’s test.
